The Loretto Foundation will present Syracuse University Women's Basketball Head Coach Felisha Legette-Jack with the 2024 Loretto Foundation Community Impact Award on Oct. 10 at the Foundation's 16th Annual Hope Celebration. The "Blues & Brews Festival" will be held at Middle Ages in Syracuse.Â
The Community Impact Award recognizes individuals or groups who champion the Loretto mission and have contributed to the overall well-being and vitality of the community. Her leadership in the Central New York Community and her character-focused approach to coaching aligns with Loretto's mission to be a family of exceptional people caring for and about each other and our company values of trust, kindness, teamwork, and leadership.Â
Legette-Jack has led the Orange to back-to-back 20 win seasons since taking the reigns at her alma mater. She guided SU to the second round of the NCAA Tournament this past season and was named ACC Women's Basketball Coach of the Year. The 1989 Syracuse graduate ended her career as the all-time leader in points and rebounds at Syracuse. She was the 1984 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year and helped the Orange to their first NCAA Tournament in program history as a freshman. Legette-Jack is enshrined in multiple halls of fame including Greater Syracuse Hall of Fame, the Syracuse Urban Sports Hall of Fame, and the Syracuse University Orange Plus Hall of Fame.
Additionally, County Executive J. Ryan McMahon will receive the 2024 Loretto Foundation Distinguished Service Award, presented to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional commitment, leadership, and impact in improving care for older adults.
The Loretto Foundation's annual Hope Celebration is a fundraising event that raises money and awareness for The Loretto Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established to advocate for older adults and support Loretto's role as an innovator in long-term care. Last year, the Hope Celebration raised over $200,000 to help Loretto residents and employees in need.

Guests will savor the finest brews and sample delicious food prepared by acclaimed chef Teresa Seeley of Diamond Catering and listen to live music from one of the most followed acoustic duos in Central New York, The Shylocks.Â
